. 5 years ago my wife lost her dad to a heart attack and never got to say good bye or One last I love you so she made a promise to kill a deer since he never got to experience that with his little girl. Well today that promise became reality as she shot a nice doe for her first deer. There was instant excitement that turned to tears of happiness and a feeling of gratification but then the tears turned to those of sadness as we both wanted to call and tell Pops that she had kept her promise. After a few moments we came to the conclusion that Pops knew today would be the day before she even pulled the trigger. Thanks Pops for looking out for us during our adventures in the outdoors. We love and miss you!

I'll submit one that my younger brother took of me, unsuspecting.

Thanks for the words bud. Hopefully something comes out of this thread for him. After all, he's the reason I was able to post in here.

Thanks to those guys that have donated items too. I don't think I've done that yet. It's a very generous gesture and especially when it can go to a youngster to get them started.

My pleasure and I think he's going to be really happy with the outcome. If for some reason that doesn't happen, I might have a call or two laying around from some DU banquets that I'm sure would be a good learner for him.

Hey fellas. Im new to duck hunting and photography. Here are a couple of my entries. The first is a speckle belly band that I got back in November. He was traced to Alaska and we harvested him in South Dakota. The second is a picture of our mojo at sunrise. The third is a pair of sheds I found last week that were very fresh. Enjoy!#72#73#74
